Get back to nature with your family and friends, and leave big-city cares behind. Your four legged friends are welcome too.
A perfect waterfront playground in which to forget your worries while immersed in the beauty of Lake James, the Blue Ridge Mountains and Pisgah National Forest.
Our property offers four wooded acres with flat direct water access to Lake James for swimming, kayaking, or canoeing, and fishing. The home is also bordered by Dale’s Creek, which feeds mountain water into the lake.
Whether you are swimming, paddling, fishing, or wading in the creek, there is no shortage of wildlife and flora to enjoy.
Picnic and BBQ at the pavilion and relax by bonfires in the evenings. Enjoy all the sounds of nature and the soothing music of the stream from the rear deck or covered porches. Pour a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and read a book on the screened porch.
Other outdoor adventures await you nearby: many trailheads can be found around Lake James: Fonta Flora Trailhead, Lake James State Park, Linville Gorge, Pisgah National Forest, Shortoff Mtn and Table Rock Mtn. Waterfalls abound in our area. Bicycling (mountain biking, road biking) and rock climbing are popular, along with trout fishing.
We are about 45 minutes from Asheville, 1.5 hours from Charlotte, about an hour from Linville and Banner Elk, and 1.5 hours from Blowing Rock and Boone.

Jonathan T. Mar 20, 2025 06:51:32 AM
Summary: Very much enjoyed our long weekend at the lake. Appreciated the property managements upfront notice of property conditions after last years storms for us to be prepared (bring your mud shoes) and owners extra efforts to make sure lake and kayaks were accessible and usable. House was clean and cozy.
Susan H. Sep 3, 2024 02:29:29 AM
Summary: This was our fourth time staying in this house on Lake James. Each tme gets better. You can walk into the lake, swim in the quiet cove, sit by the water, rest on the deck. Just wonderful.
Brandy H. Jun 29, 2024 12:31:11 AM
Summary: We had a wonderful stay! The house is beautiful and was very clean and organized. We had everything we needed. The water was great for kayaking and swimming. During the weekend, the cove gets a little heavy with boat traffic but it didn't bother us. Also, make sure to wear big spray to avoid the ticks and chiggers. There are wooded areas around so that's to be expected. Overall, we loved the location and would love to stay again one day!
Dwight L. Jun 23, 2024 03:18:23 AM
Summary: This was a very nice lake property for young children learning to swim, kayak, and snorkeling.
Linda C. Aug 19, 2023 11:22:04 AM
Summary: Dales Creek was a wonderfully serene escape. Everything in top condition in the house and grounds. Nice location and beautiful lake views and access.
TW S. Aug 13, 2023 03:39:39 AM
Summary: We've been heading up to Lake James for a week each of the last five years or so. By far, this was the best place we've stayed. Secluded, with great access to the lake - a great little beach area with sand rather than mud. House is clean and solidly constructed (not the usual cut corners you often see in vacation rentals). The pleasant sound of Dales Creek keeps the vibe peaceful and quiet. Convenient to Lake James Marina, Fonta Flora Brewing, and multiple hiking spots and parks. Great spot. Lake James Rd. is one of the busier roads (the Nebo/Marion definition of "busy") so there's a touch more traffic noise than you'd expect. But that's literally the only drawback and it's easily ignored when it happens.

Summary: This lake home property is the perfect balance of comforts of home surrounded by wilderness. The lake and creek offer hours of entertainment for the family. The property itself is large which allowed everyone to spread out and find quiet time when needed. My only recommendation would be a little softer beds. The one on the third floor is very hard.
Shane S. Jul 11, 2023 07:44:14 PM
Summary: Dale's Creek was private, peaceful, relaxing and stocked with all the basics one would need. The house and property was very clean and well maintained. Property management was easy to contact, understanding and responsive when we needed them. We all really enjoyed watching the large flocks of ducks and waterfowl on the cove. It was cold when we stayed, so we couldn't get in the water, but it looks amazing as a warm weather lake/stream swimming destination. We would definitely visit again!
Kris W. Jun 7, 2023 06:52:12 PM
Summary: Beautiful property - surrounded by water and nature House itself was immaculate with great amenities use of canoes and kayaks was a definite plus quiet and serene
James L. Apr 26, 2022 11:01:00 AM
Summary: My son and I spent a long weekend here. The whole process from beginning to end was seamless. The cabin was great for our needs, and it would have been great for a larger group. We would definitely consider this property again should we ever go back to the area. Top notch!
